Round Lake Beach mom dies day after teen son

LINDENHURST — A Round Lake Beach woman died of crash injuries early Tuesday, a day after her son was killed in the same car accident on U.S. Highway 45 in Lindenhurst, authorities said Tuesday.

Tambra Lindsey, 45, died in Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge, after being flown there around 1:30 p.m. Monday, Lake County Coroner Jim Wipper said. Her son, De-Jon Burns, 14, was pronounced dead Monday in St. Therese Medical Center, Waukegan, shortly after the accident. Both died of multiple injuries, Wipper said.

Lindsey was southbound on U.S. 45 north of Grand Avenue when a tire struck gravel and she lost control, police said. A northbound pickup truck collided with the car on the passenger side, and Lindsey and her son were thrown from the car, police said.
